    - Resource View Hello All, We are using Microsoft project server 2003, I created a user from the webaccess admin menu, the user gets saved, but when I navigate to the resource view, i cannot see the user. However, I know it is saved because I can find the user in the drop down and modify the user. Appreciate your help greatly. Thanks for your time.

    - Resource & Task Owner Notifications Hi everyone. Most of the times the resource assigned to a task is the task owner itself, but when I change the owner to be someone else, the notifications after I publish the project are sent only to this person. I need the notifications to be sent to both the resource of the task and the owner of the task (when they are different people). How could I do that? Thanks for your help.

    - Max units in Resource Pool vs. Sharer Files Hello, I am setting up some projects to share resources from a resource pool. My original plan was to have the max units set at 90% in the Resource Pool (allowing resources to spend 90% of their time on projects in general), and then to set the max units lower in the sharer files, if necessary. This was done so that scheduling for an individual project could be controlled by how much time was allocated to each project, but the resource pool would not show over allocations unless someone was above the 90% threshold. I set the conflict option to Sharer takes precedence. I have two observations: 1. For my first project, I set the max units to 50% within the project. This appeared to work but when I reopened the project, only resources that had been assigned to tasks retained the 50%, the remaining resources defaulted back to the 90% max units from the resource pool. 2. When I introduced an additional project, and wanted to set max units at 25%, it became more confusing... the first project changed to the 25% defined in the second project. So my question is - is there a way to do what I am describing at the max units level, or is there a better way to do this? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

    - Removing Resource from multi-resource task I have a task that has 4 people allocated at 25% each. Planned work is 100 hours for each resource and they have all tracked 25 hours of actual work on the task. Resource-a got moved to a special assignment on another project and needs to be removed from this task. I want to retain resource-a's actuals and have the remaining planned work redistributed to the other three resources at 33% each. In general, how should this be done?

    - recuring task summary show too much time Hi there, I did a summary task that had 8 hours each month for a year and it showed over 1000 hours of work. Does anyone have advice Thanks a zillion Tag: MS project Sever and MS Project Professional Tag: 135231

    - How do I remove a 'Progress Line'? I just started looking over the different features of MS Project and while viewing with the 'Tracking Gantt' option checked, I am trying different buttons just to see what they do and, for instance, when I click the 'Add Progress Line' and click in the schedule somewhere, I can't remove it; 'Can't Undo' is what is displayed under the 'Edit' drop down menu. I typed in 'remove progress line' in the help 'Search for:' dialog box and didn't get any 'help' from that either. The only relevant search result that comes close the subject of 'remove progress line' is 'About progress lines', which doesn't address how to 'remove' them. My only way around this will be to save after each successful task and close without saving and open the file back up if I use the wrong function - and this is ludicrous at best. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Tag: MS project Sever and MS Project Professional Tag: 135218

    - MS Project professional 2003 and Server 2003 I am new the MS Project and Have the professional version installed. I am running Vista Business 2007. Does the Professional version include Project Server in the installation? I see references to it but it is unclear to me if I need to purchase a separate CD. The version I have was uninstalled by me, from another computer in my office and installed on my computer. Another computer in the office has a shortcut to MS Project Server that seems to open up Project documents but I cannot figure out how it is doing it. Looking at the installation CD for Professional doesn't show any reference to Project Server. Any advice would be appreciated.

    - Can't See New Task on Tracking Gantt? Hi all, hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with project for work. Currently I am in the process of tweeking and changing little things like durations and dates within Project in relation to my works overall programme of projects, before rebase-lining the whole thing in April. One thing that we're doing is adding another task in each project ( a Maintenance phase after our Construction phase), now I can see this maintenance phase in the Gantt view but when I switch to the Tracking Gantt view the phase is gone/not there and there's only the construction phase with a linking arrow to nothing. If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Gay. -- Project for Work, Cigars for Pleasure Tag: MS project Sever and MS Project Professional Tag: 135198

    - Changing Hours per day causes error in Finish date Hi, I'm using MS Project 2003. I've a requirement in my work that requires me to change the working hours for the resources to 9 hours. Once I do this change and add new tasks, the duration of the task is reflected properly by taking into account 9 hrs per day instead of the default 8 hrs per day. BUt the Finish date for the task is still calculated using 8 hrs per day. This is leading to lot of Schedule Variance, which is actually not there. Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.

    - Keeping Task Schedule Intact Just wondering if people generally apply dependencies to tasks after resource levelling the schedule? My problem is that if I donâ??t apply dependencies to all tasks I constantly have to resource level future tasks that have shifted due to an earlier schedule slippage, but perhaps there is a better/easier solution? E.g. Phase 1 and 2 have 100 tasks each and are due to last a year. Phase 2 cannot start until Phase 1 finishes. Phase 1 gets delayed by one month, so as a consequence all tasks in Phase 2 should shift out a further month. If I donâ??t put dependencies between all tasks, they will not shift uniformly and I will therefore loose the resource levelling. I generally do the resource levelling manually. Any ideas are much appreciated Thanks -- Robin Tag: MS project Sever and MS Project Professional Tag: 135175

    - Add resources to a running project. Add resources to a running project. I use MS Project 2003 to plan the work of a team of developers and predict when projects will be ready. Each team member is a single resource. Before starting a project some resources are assigned to it. Let's say I start a project on march 1st, with 4 people (resources) assigned on it. March 8th is decided to speed things up by assigning 2 more resources to the project. Now MS Project recalculates the whole project, based on start date march 1st, with 6 resources assigned to it. That, of course, gives me an incorrect project length and end date. Also, the other way around, when a resource is removed from a project, the whole project is recalculated as if it's done without that resource. Imagine what will happen if you have a project with 2 resources working on it for several months, and you decide the last week of the job can be done by just one... In short: is there any way to specify a date on which a single resource starts/stops working on a running project? I've done a lot of 'googling' but couldn't find a solution. Perhaps because of that english isn't my native language (as if you didn't notice that...) so I don't know the right keywords to look for exactly. It's hard to believe I'm the only one with this problem. I must be missing something obvious, so I'm prepared to feel very stupid :) Thanks in advance, K.

    - Allocating Resources Between Two Different Projects I am currently working on 2 separate projects using Project 2003. They both are using the same resources at the same time. I have shared the resource pool between the 2 projects but, I am confused about how to appropriately leverage overallocated time between the projects. I am afraid that if I try to leverage time I will create problems for the entire projects by creating delays. I have printed out the "Who Does What" report and the "Overallocated Resources" which shows the tasks for each resource for each project on the same page, but I do not understand them. I am expected to provide a solution to upper level executives tomorrow morning. I am getting frustrated and bewildered. Tag: MS project Sever and MS Project Professional Tag: 135163

    - Resources - How to - Recalibrate shared resourses Hello, When I assign 2 engineers to a task of 4 days, that task gets reduced to 2 days, this assumes that 2 people are able to do a job twice as fast, but I know that those 2 engineers working together produce as 1.7 men instead of 2. How do you guys take this into account? Is Project able to recalibrate those resources in the way I want? Let me explain the way I do it and you guys can correct me... I have my resources added through the Resource Sheet, in there, a resource has a Max Units of 100%. However, on the Task Information, under the Resources tab, I add the 2 resources I want to work on that task and I change their Units to 85%, this will do that task at 1.7 rate, so the 4 days task will be done on 2.35 days instead of 2 days. Is this the correct way of accounting for this? Should I have something else into account? Thank in advance for any response, comment or link. Regards, Miguel Gonzalez.

    - Actual Work - Distributed in Future While analysing one of our MS Project 2007 plans, I noticed that one of the resources has Actual Work entries for future dates - all the way through April, 2008. This doesn't seem possible and definately isn't legitimate e.g. he hasn't worked those hours yet and they shouldn't be in the plan as actuals - IMHO. We do have a timesheet tool that automatically updates daily actuals onto our plans and my first thought was that this individual processed future timesheets and somehow got them through the approval process and got the hours progressed down to the plan. I ruled this out because this individual is not ahead on his timesheets. Microsoft Project automatically distributes planned work but does it do anything automagically that might explain how future actuals could be present in the plan? I appreciate your help.

    - Material ressource - usage at the start of task Hi, I have the impression the following is a stupid question but I don't find the solution by myself... I have a ressource with type "material". Let's say this ressource is "steel" and my project is about building a car. The car is built on let's say 3 weeks so I would like the "steel" material usage to change during the 3 weeks: eg: 1 ton used the 1st week, 1 ton used the 2nd week, 1 ton used the 3rd week ==> like it is for a ressource of type "work". Currently, the 3 tons are allocated to the 1st day of the 3 weeks task "build car". I checked the "accrue at" property and it is set to "prorated" so I would expect the 3 tons to be allocated on 3 weeks rather than 1 day. Where am I wrong ?? Thanks in advance Ludo Tag: MS project Sever and MS Project Professional Tag: 135033

It appears to me that if I have MS Project Server I will still ne MS Project
professional loaded on my desktop - correct ?

If there a server version of MS project professional that would allow one
version to be loaded on a server and based on licenses, allow others to run
MS Project ?
